Peter,

I dont see what the use is to convert a  scx file to a .txt file, but if
you realy want, the most easiest way is to do, since scxtoprg does not give
in all case a workable .scx:
open your formin the vfp menu:   -> file -> save as class -> give name and
give a classname plus location -> Save. Close the form. Again in VFP menu
now -> Class browser -> 2nd button (Open) -> select the class which you
just constructed -> click on the class name you just constructed ->4th
button (View class code) You will see a .prg file "Viewclasscode.prg" Save
this .prg file and you are done. This script will always produce the form.

You do know you can run one and the same form n- times with folllowing
command?
do form myForm
where you have to replace myForm with your form's name, you donot even need
to add .scx

Regards,
Koen
